‘Friends’ stars switch things up

Two of my favorite
"Friends" star is here to light up my viewing habits. I'm sure many
of you miss them. I do.

Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, who famously
played roommates Joey Tribbiani and Chandler Bing, respectively, on Friends,
will have a reunion of sorts when their shows start airing on their new home,
RTL CBS Entertainment.

The Odd Couple,
starring Matthew Perry, will have the premiere of its third season on October
21. Matt LeBlanc’s new show Man With A Plan is set to premiere on October 28.

As both shows go
on air this October, viewers can look forward to Friday night fun watching two
different but humorous takes on the domestic challenges faced by modern guys.

Is ‘Daddy’ Fun
Times really having fun?

Le Blanc’s new
role in is a seeming departure from Joey Tribbiani’s womanizing as his equally
hilarious role in Man With A Plan looks into the challenges that fatherhood
pose.

In this new
series, LeBlanc plays the role of Adam Burns, a contractor who finds himself
taking care of his three kids when his wife, a stay-at-home Mom for 13 years
goes back to work. While Adam wanted to call himself “Daddy Fun Times,” he
discovers that parenthood is not always a smooth and easy ride.

As Adam gets to
perform his new role as head of the household, he finds himself dealing with
his kids’ internet addiction, untidiness, and the need for their wishes to be
constantly indulged.

Among Adam’s misadventures
is only having Listerine strips to offer when his kids look for snacks while on
the way to school. Adam also forgets a universal sentiment among kids – that cleaning
up and doing chores is no fun.

Adam also offers
up some timeless fatherly advice. After his youngest daughter tells him that
kindergarten frightens her, Adam says: “Honey, you should be worried – kids are
mean. But just know, if you ever feel uncomfortable, just start swingin’ – a
punch in the nose could be a real problem solver.”

Faced with these
mounting pressures, can Adam really be the great father that his wife expects
him to be?

For better or for worse

LeBlanc played a womanizer in Friends but it looks like he has passed
on that role to his real-life buddy Matthew Perry, who is back on The Odd
Couple as playboy sportswriter and radio sports host Oscar Madison. On the
show, Oscar ends up living with his college friend, Felix Unger (played by
Thomas Lennon), in a disorderly bachelor apartment, after his ex-wife divorces
him for being thoughtless.

Going for a second
shot at real love, Oscar copes with his new life together with Felix, a clean freak
whose desire for a clean apartment puts him at odds with his divorcee friend. And
even as Oscar begins dating other women, he never quite moves on from his
previous marriage.

As Oscar and Felix
try to get past their differences, will they finally find their dream romance
by season three?

Catch The Odd
Couple’s season three premiere on October 21, 9:30PM, and Man With A Plan’s
series premiere on October 28, 9:00PM, exclusive on RTL CBS Entertainment.
